Until this work is complete, anyone trying out our nightly builds will probably notice some unusual, overly soft playback.Īpart from the headline features, there are a lot of smaller changes in MuseScore 4: our MusicXML import is vastly improved and we will be including dozens of engraving improvements also.Īpart from that, it is also worth mentioning a few things that will be missing in MuseScore 4.0 The piano roll & automation (delayed)Īlthough the implementation of a new piano roll is already underway, we feel that the scope of the remaining work is too large and it would be unwise to try to include it in MuseScore 4.0. Our most significant remaining efforts will be spent on the default playback of MuseScore 4. We're still porting a few remaining functionalities and shortcuts from MS3.6 but the major work is complete. We have completely overhauled how the inspector works and how part scores can be generated and modified. We have implemented basic VSTi & VST support and our new interface is just about done. The app has been completely rearchitected and is now running quickly and smoothly. I will be posting a revised release timeline shortly.Īpart from that, here is an update on our progress: Generalĭespite the delay on alpha, we're very happy with how things are going.

Although the app is clearly coming together nicely (as can be seen from checking the nightly builds), we feel we are a few weeks away from our first alpha. I wanted to give a quick update about our progress with MuseScore 4, which we had hoped would be ready for an initial alpha release by today.
